Book Synopsis
The bishop was feeling rather sea-sick. Confoundedly sea-sick, in fact. An Anglican bishop, on recuperative leave from his African diocese, alights at the island of Nepenthe for a short stay on his passage to England. Soon he is caught up in the wild and exuberant antics of visitors and residents. Norman Douglas's famed, and infamous, novel of Capri is a hedonistic journey and an unforgettable classic.

Trade Review
A fascinating book, in the original sense of the adjective – spell-binding, mesmeric, and sometimes disturbingly prophetic... We leave it slightly drugged and mystified, yet somehow slighly more aware of things than when we started' -- Jan Morris
